VANGELES, OF SAN LEONARDO, MUEVA ECYA, PHILIPPINE ISLANDS MAGAZINEPENCIL Application filed December 27, '1929. Serial 110,416,922.

This invention relates to a combined pen and pencil and has for anobject the provision of means for combining a pen andpencil in asingleunit so that either may be used as desired.

Another object of the invention is the pro-.

vision of a pencil of the magazine type which may contain leads ofdifferent color or character with novel means for arranging a de-' siredtype of lead in position for use.

' Another object of the invention is theprovision of a fountain pen andmagazine pencil unit having means for detachably connecting,- the sameand for utilizing the bar- 5 rel of the pencil to enclose the fillerelement of the pen.

With theabove and other objects in view,

the invention further includes the following novel features and detailsof construction, to be hereinafter more fully described, illus- 'tratedinthe accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings Figure l is an elevation of a combinedpen and pencilunit constructed in accordance with the invention, the cap of the penbeing shownin section.

Figure 2 is, a longitudinal sectional View the lead carriers Referringto the drawings in detail wherein like characters of reference denotecorresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a magazinepencil and 11 a fountain pen, detachably connected so as to provide aunitary article. Forthis purpose, the

barrel of the pencil and the barrel of the pen are detachably connectedas indicated at 12 so that the pen may be filled with ink and the leadsof the pencil renewed.

- pencil barrel.

1 there are also three lead carriers.

.and telescopically arranged as shown in Fig- Figures 3 and 4 areenlarged sections The barrel of the pencil is of sectional formation andincludes a rotatable section 13 -and a relatively stationary section14." This stationary section includes a sleeve 15 which is provided atone end with an inwardly turned flange 16. This flange engages ashoulder 17 provided upon the rotatable section 13 so that the lattermay be freely rotated and may also be moved longitudinally.

The bore of the barrel 13 is tapered and 1 communicates with the taperedbore of the outer end of nose 18 of the'pencil, the latter beingdetachably connected to the barrel 13.

. This bore is also interiorly threaded as shown at 19. I a 651i;

Therelatively stationary section 14 of the pencil carries guides 20.Theseguides are arranged at an angle with respect to one another andtheir inclination conforms to the taper of the bore of the section 13 ofthe These guides accommodate lead carriers 21 and as three guides areshown The carriers 21 may also beof sectional formation ure 8 of thedrawings, the outer section 21 of the lead carrier. being longitudinallysplit and frictionally engaging. within the other section so'asto gripand hold thelead against movementindependent of the carrier.

Each ofthe' lead carriers 21 is provided with a longitudinally disposedlug 22 and this lugis notched as indicated at 23toreceive the threads 19of the rotatable section 13 of the pencilbarrel. Thelugs 22 are alsoprovided with eyes or sockets 24; which removablyreceive the inwardlyextending extremities of latches 25. Theselatches are provided with eyes26 which receive slide bars 27 and the latter are mounted for slidingmovement longitudinally of the pencilbarrel withinguide grooves 28.These grooves are defined by plates 29 which cooperate withthe wallsoffrecesses formed in the relatively stationary section 1410f the pencilbarrel. The plates-29 are slotted as shown at30 for the passageof fingerpieces31 which form a part of the latches 25. f

.Asipreviouslystated, the pencil accommo dates threejlcadjholders,.whichpreferably 11(12 1 hold leads of different color, forexample, red, blue and black. While it is primarily the intention toutilize differently colored leads, it is obvious that leads of the samecolor but of different degrees of hardness may be used in the pencil.

Normally, the lead holders 21 may be retracted and held in retractedposition through engagement of the latches 2% within the eyes or sockets24 of the lugs 22. In this position, the ends of the plates 29 bear uponthe latches so as to prevent their disengagement from the eyes of thelugs. \Vhen it is desired to project one of the leads through the end ofthe pencil for use, the latch 25 of the particular lead selected ismoved outward through the finger piece 31. In this position the latchmay be disengaged from the lug. The end of the lug which has been movedoutward enters the adjacent end of the bore of the rotatable section 13,so that upon rotation of this section the threads of the bore will enterthe notch 23 and cause the lug to travel outward and carry with it thelead carrier. The carrier will thus be held in position until retractedby reverse rotation of the section 13.

The barrel 11 of the pen is provided with an ink reservoir 32 withinwhich is located a suction element 33. This suction element has securedthereto a stem 34 which eXends from the end of the pen barrel into achamber 35 defined by the relatively stationary section 14 of the pencilbarrel. This stem 34 is normally forced outward by means of a spring 36.

When it is desired to fill the ink reservoir, the pen barrel isdisconnected from the pencil barrel and the point of the pen issubmerged in ink, the suction element 33 having previously been forcedinward through pressure upon the stem 34. \Vhen pressure is released,the spring 36 will move the suction element outwardly so that the inkwill be drawn into the reservoir 32.

Also, when it is desired to fill the pencil with leads, the pen andpencil barrels are dis connected so that the leads and their holders maybe inserted within the guide 20.

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportionsand minor details of construction and the right is herein reserved tomake such changes as properly fall within the scope of the appendedclaims.

Having described the invention what is claimed is 1. In a pencil, abarrel including an interiorly threaded rotatable section and arelatively stationary section, means to slidingly connect said sections,a plurality of longitudinally disposed individual lead carriers, 3,guide for each carrier, a thread engaging element rigid with eachcarrier and normally spaced from the threaded section of the barrel, andmeans engageable with the thread engaging elements to hold the latter ininactive position, or selectively move said elements to thread engagingposition, whereby rotation of the rotatable section of the barrel willproject a lead carrier outward.

2. In a pencil, a barrel including an interiorly threaded rotatablesection and a relatively stationary section, means to slidingl connectsaid sections, a plurality of longitudinally disposed individual leadcarriers, a guide for each carrier, a thread engaging element rigid witheach carrier and normally spaced from the threaded section of thebarrel, means engageable with the thread engaging elements to hold thelatter in inactive position, or selectively move said elements to threadengaging position, whereby rotation of the rotatable section of thebarrel will project a lead carrier outward, and means to preventdisengagement of the thread engaging element holding means.

3. In a pencil, a barrel including an in teriorly threaded rotatablesection and a relatively stationary section, means to slidingly connectsaid sections, a plurality of longitudinally disposed individual leadcarriers, :1 guide for each carrier, said guides having longitudinallydisposed slots therein, a thread engaging element rigid with eachcarrier for movement longitudinally of the slots of the guides, saidthread engaging elements having sockets therein, latches mounted forpivotal movement in the relatively stationary section and normallyengagin the thread engaging elements to hold the latter spaced from therotatable section, means to move the latches longitudinally to move thethread engaging elements into thread engaging position, whereby rotationof the rotatable section will move the lead carriers longitudinallyoutward and project a lead.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
